best way to sell an old car?

[Deleted User]

put it on ebay, it should fetch £300 if there isn't much rust

or drive it to a scrap yard and get around £140-£170 for it

if you freecycle it, they will only drive it to the scrapyard for a quick profit, so you may as well do it yourself

I hate having the MOT so soon after christmas, I swear if it was July I'd definitely put it through! Very glad that our new car's MOT date is august...

Not stupid to insure for a learner then. Why not put it through the MOT and see what happens? If it fails, put it on ebay and say 'failure sheet to show', and list what needs doing. Then someone who knows what they're doing can come along and see exactly what they're getting.

Shame its not a diesel or you'd have loads of people here all over it to run on veg oil!

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but it's a miracle... IT PASSED!!! with no work whatsoever required, not even a single bulb!
Yes quite a few advisories, but not fussed about that. Now we can sell the car with 12m MOT which is fab.
So thanks SO much for the advice given to try and put it through. I could kiss you all!

One word......Pistonheads.
Seems to be best place to sell a car these days. I have bought my previous Toyota MR2's from there.
